Saw he's not even listed on the latest depth chart, where they have two other guys listed as backups.
What happened? Injury? Just a demotion based on performance?

What's the deal with Diamont?
- Thread starter Hawk Supreme

Injured versus PSU. Hackenberg alluded to the defensive players being happy to get back at him for showboating/taunting
Sad to see anyone injured, but it's not smart to rub it in when your his size. He kinda asked for it.
Quite honestly, if we see anyone other than Sudfeld against Iowa for more than a play...we have no chance.
Since he did play in two games this year I don't think a redshirt is automatic. However, given the limited number of snaps he played and the injury situation my guess is that a redshirt will be granted by the NCAA if he doesn't play any more this season
Agreed. That stupid money thing he does copying that coke head from Cleveland is stupid. Imitating someone else is lame already, initiating a loser is just sad.
If you play less than 30% of the season and suffer a season ending injury you can apply for a medical redshirt.
Given he was injured in the 6th game I think it's a long shot, at best
Based on the info below, Diamont should be eligible...Penn State was game six. I don't believe he has appeared in more than 3.6 games.
"A special case involves the eligibility of a player who loses the majority of a season to injury. Popularly known as a medical redshirt, a hardship waiver may be granted to athletes who appear in fewer than 30% of team competitions (none after the midpoint of the season) then suffers a season-ending injury. Players granted such a waiver are treated for the purposes of eligibility as though they did not compete in that season."
I would think that anything after Penn State, so yes RU or any game after....unless they are going by some type of calendar. I that is the case, then I'm not sure what that would be...but given bye/off weeks, I would still think the sixth week on the calendar would still be prior to the half way point of the calendar season as the bucket game is in week 13 I believe.
The issue isn't whether a redshirt year will make him better or whether Diamont redshirting will make a difference in IU's future success. The issue is whether he is eligible to receive a redshirt and if the NCAA will grant one.
I don't know if Diamont is the future answer at QB or not but I hope the kid gets a redshirt. Given the fact that he lost a planned redshirt last year after being pressed into service and played only 4 or 5 quarters of football this year (assuming he doesn't play in any more games) he certainly is deserving of an extra year.
Hopefully Sudfeld is healthy the remainder of the season and Diamont isn't needed, even if he's healthy enough to play. Since Cameron has already used a redshirt season, any garbage/clean-up minutes can be given to him if it protects ZD's eligibility.
